Mr. Speaker, there is no fearmongering here. We have real facts.
Cape Breton has one of the highest percentages of seniors in the country. Unfortunately most are below income. They have gone from shock to anger over the Prime Minister's announcement of raising the age of old age security. This weekend I visited the Gillis' in my riding and they are scared. Their disability pensions stop at 65. Without old age security for two years, they will lose everything they have and be forced into welfare.
Seniors like the Gillis' have done so much for our country. Why are the Conservatives throwing them out on the street?
